One thought on “Mitch McConnell’s Feathers Finally Getting Ruffled”

Don Stewart, a spokesman for McConnell, said the senator’s comment comparing the debts of the U.S. and Greece was “an analogy … not a statement of empirical precision.”
Well if you ask me it was an “empirical lie” to compare our debt being as high percentage of GDP as Greece, but then again what can we expect from Mitch. Fear mongering and misinformation coming from our US Senator is an insult to our founding father’s and he should be held accountable for it.
